Abstract

The Fusion Experimental Reactor (FER) is a D-T-burning tokamak machine currently being designed. It is expected to provide physical information and technical experiences that will be sufficient to proceed towards the DEMO Fusion Reactor which will demonstrate electric power generation by fusion energy. An efficient ash exhaust, a hybrid current drive operation, the use of a 3% ripple field, the technological achievements in R&D of the magnets, and the negative-ion beam system are expected to allow the FER to achieve its cost-effectiveness
